My mind suddenly felt clear.
"...."
Rather than being shocked, surprised, or overwhelmed by the realization, I only felt a strange clarity wash over my mind.
It was strange, but it almost felt like everything was falling into place.
'So this is how it is...'
I closed my eyes and took a small breath.
'There's still a lot of things that don't make sense, but I'm sure I'll understand soon enough.'
I glanced at the phone in my hand. I felt tempted to replay the video, but thinking back to how gruesome it was, I decided against it.
...The message was already clear to me.
What I truly wanted to know was where Noel was.
He was still alive, I was sure of it. Somewhere out there, he was waiting for me to save him. But from what?
'He did say 'they'.'
Could he be referring to the other 'Gods'?
"Hmm."
